Executive Sponsors: President Kevin Guskiewicz and Provost Laura Lee McIntyre

The Administration is committed to:

• Providing regular updates when available
• Transparency with all stakeholders

• Continuity of both MD & DO accredited programs 

   

Shared commitments that guide our work as we design MSU Medicine together:

1. Put the Mission First
   Institutional priorities and our land-grant mission guide every decision—not individual interests.
    
2. Build One Unified Future
   We are building a single identity, culture, and infrastructure while honoring DO and MD strengths.
    
3. Integrity, Fairness & Evidence
   Decisions will be transparent, data-driven, and grounded in objective, fair evaluation.
    
4. Design for Excellence, Not Legacy
   We will design systems based on future impact and outcomes, not just historical precedent.
    
5. Experiment, Learn & Improve
   This is an iterative process. We embrace thoughtful experimentation and learn openly from setbacks.
    
6. Listen First
   We commit to seeking out diverse perspectives and ensuring every voice is genuinely heard.
    
7. Honor Expertise & Dignity
   We will maintain a culture of mutual respect, welcoming healthy debate and valuing all contributions.
    
8. Earn, Build & Maintain Trust
   We will communicate regularly, explain our rationales, and acknowledge tradeoffs.
    
9. Advance Together
   We will tackle decisions with courage, curiosity, playfulness, empathy, and shared responsibility.
